AI AGENTS

Standup Blocker Escalator to Linear and PagerDuty

When a team member's Loom standup mentions a blocker, it classifies the severity, files a Linear issue for normal blockers.

  • OutputPage on-call for release-blocking itemPagerDutyPagerDuty

What it does

Turns spoken blockers into tracked, routed work. After each engineer records their Loom standup, this workflow reads the transcript, detects whether a blocker was raised, judges its severity, and routes it: a normal blocker becomes a Linear issue assigned to the relevant owner, while a release-blocking emergency triggers a PagerDuty page so it doesn't wait until tomorrow's standup.

When to use it

When async standups keep surfacing blockers that get forgotten because no one acts on a video. Use this to guarantee every blocker becomes either a tracked ticket or an immediate page.

How it works

  1. 1A new Loom standup recording from a tracked team member triggers the flow.
  2. 2An OpenAI step reads the transcript and extracts any blocker with a severity rating.
  3. 3A logic branch checks severity: skip if none, escalate if release-blocking.
  4. 4Normal blockers are filed as a Linear issue with owner and context.
  5. 5Release-blocking ones additionally page on-call through PagerDuty.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LoomVideo transcripts, libraries.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
